Student Visa question.

HI, Does anyone have a clear answer on the following...

My 12 month student visa runs out in a few weeks, i´ve heard that it isn´t included on the 180 days tourist quota but the question is, do i have to leave the country(border run) or can i go down to the happy people at DAS, fill in the form and get an extension??

I know i´ll need a ticket out, just hope i don´t need to leave the country.

Thanks.

I believe the DAS will pretty much give anyone their initial 30 days (not confirmed).

I don't know where you are in Colombia, but maybe you can go to Ecuador and then reapply.

Ask your University, they probably do have experience with this kind of cases.

I´m in Medellin. The thought of going to Ecuador for a border run isn´t my idea of fun, looking for ways around it. I think DAS are closed until Monday now and no-one knows at my UNI.
